Bon appetit from Swide as we review the foods of 2009!

For all the talk of recession and penny-pinching we've still enjoyed our food like there was no tomorrow this year.

The McLouvre

Sacrebleu! Zere's a 'amburger in my Louvre! Resistance is futile however as ze frogs are McDonald's biggest fans outside America and a project has been finalised with what we heard was the utmost care in culinary and aesthetical terms. Drawing a Monalisa on the bun won't make it smell any more elegant, we're just saying...

 

Savour here.

 

The Twecipes

Not just for the stalking of various celebrities and ex-boyfriends Twitter is now your personal interactive Martha Stewart and comes to your rescue by suggesting you recipes based on the ingredients available to you. That being said we've tried with #wine #pistachio #soggy breakfast cereals and we're still expecting a suggestion.

Tweet and learn here.

 

The drunch

Not just another excuse to get drunk after all! This is a clever way for busy busy urbanites to multitask by enjoying the after-work pint while having a bite to eat courtesy of the nibbles (anything from prosciutto to pasta) that come with it. The one downside is that you'll never need to rush home for dinner anymore and should a significant other be waiting... Oh well this is a food review, not a how-to guide to relationships.

Slurp here.

 

Supersize is the new size zero

Swide reckons nothing is more chic than the ability to eat exactly what you want: welcome to the era of "passé diet". If stuffing one's face is good enough for Ms Moss herself... We thought you'd recently caused outrage with your rather tactless "Nothing tastes as good..." big declaration so how do you explain the chocolate and chips dearest?

Devour here.

 

Cute foods

The invasion of the cupcake! And various smiling things you're supposed to feel comforted by in a way emotionless food never was able to achieve. Like we need a friendly expressing to gulp down anything of the cake variety!

Be cynical here.
